audre lorde: caring for myself is not self-indulgence. it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.
I got a poll from Rep Baumgartner about taking over Greenland. "NO, you idiot!" Surprisingly, was not an option! So I sent back a rather strongly worded email. I haven't received a survey since! Wow! Anyone else?
My representative, Michael Baumgartner (R), often does a single-question poll that gets sent out to constituents on his mailing list. Up until a few weeks ago, I was able to participate. Now, I get the newsletter containing poll results, but never get the poll question.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

The SAVE Act failed to pass last year because of nationwide public opposition. Now it’s back, and Congress should reject it again. Add your voice: bit.ly/4tmVIor

This article is a must-read. It matches my own experience of seeing conservative judges go from often siding with trans plaintiffs prior to 2021 to being outwardly hostile. Judges don't live in a hermetically sealed chamber. They absorbed anti-trans propaganda.

How the Conservative Movement’s Anti-Trans Crusade Brought the Supreme Court to Heel
Six years ago, the Court issued a landmark decision protecting the civil rights of trans people. Republicans set about making sure that that would never happen again.

Fuck yeah.
A key part of my evangelical deconstruction was seeing first hand that the "liberal-run media" was a lie and that no one cared about my religion when I was working to be a journalist as long as I was good at my job.
One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵
